RESUMEN
Lead is a common environmental pollutant which can accumulate in the kidney and cause renal injury. However, regulatory effects and mechanisms of Sparassis latifolia polysaccharide (SLP) on lipid metabolism abnormality in kidney exposed to lead are not clarified. In this study, mice were used to construct an animal model to observe the histopathological changes in kidney, measure lead content, damage indicators, differentially expressed metabolites (DEMs) and genes (DEGs) in key signaling pathways that cause lipid metabolism abnormalities based on lipidomics and transcriptomics, which were later validated using qPCR and western blotting. Co-treatment of Pb and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) were used to verify the link between SLP and oxidative stress. Our results indicated that treatment with SLP identified 276 DEMs (including metabolism of glycerophospholipid, sphingolipid, glycerolipid and fatty acid) and 177 DEGs (including genes related to oxidative stress, inflammation, autophagy and lipid metabolism). Notably, regulatory effects of SLP on abnormal lipid metabolism in kidney were mainly associated with oxidative stress, inflammation and autophagy; SLP could regulate abnormal lipid metabolism in kidney by reducing oxidative stress and affecting its downstream-regulated autophagy and inflammatory to alleviate renal injury caused by lead exposure. This study provides a theoretical basis for SLP intervention in lead injury.
RESUMEN
Morchella importuna polysaccharide (MIP) has been proven to have obvious hypoglycemic effects on mice with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). This study looked at the functional and rheological characteristics of MIP, and investigated the effects of MIP on the human fecal microbiota through in vitro fermentation experiments. The outcomes demonstrate the excellent oil-holding capacity, emulsifying, foaming, and rheological characteristics of MIP. After salivary gastrointestinal digestion, the Mw of MIP decreased from 398.2 kDa and 21.5 kDa to 21.9 kDa and 11.7 kDa. By 16S rRNA sequencing of bacteria fermented in vitro, it was found that MIP did not improve the richness and diversity of intestinal microorganisms, but it may exert an anti-T2DM function by significantly increasing the relative abundance of Firmicutes and promoting Ruminococcaceae_UCG_014, Bacteroides, and Blautia proliferation. Escherichia-Shigella could also be inhibited to improve the intestinal microenvironment. In addition, the fermentation of MIP increased the total short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) concentration from 3.23 mmol/L to 39.12 mmol/L, and the propionic acid content increased significantly. In summary, MIP has excellent processing performance and is expected to exert potential anti-T2DM activity through the human intestinal microbiota, which has broad market prospects.
RESUMEN
This study aimed to develop novel nanoparticles that can serve as an excellent oil-in-water (O/W) Pickering stabilizer. The polysaccharide-protein complex nanoparticles (PPCNs-20 and PPCNs-40) were prepared at different ultrasonication amplitudes (20 % and 40 %, respectively) from the polysaccharide-protein complexes (PPCs) which were extracted from the residue of Clitocybe squamulose. Compared with PPCs and PPCNs-20, the PPCNs-40 exhibited dispersed blade and rod shape, smaller average size, and larger zeta potential, which indicated significant potential in O/W Pickering emulsion stabilizers. Subsequently, PPCNs-40 stabilized Pickering emulsions were characterized at different concentrations, pHs, and oil phase contents. The average size, micromorphology, rheological properties, and storage stability of the emulsions were improved as the concentration of PPCNs-40, the ratio of the soybean oil phase and pH value increased. Pickering emulsions showed the best stability when the concentration of PPCNs-40 was 3 wt%, and the soybean oil fraction was 30 % under both neutral and alkaline conditions. The emulsions demonstrated shear thinning and gelation behavior. These findings have implications for the use of eco-friendly nanoparticles as stabilizers for Pickering emulsions and provide strategies for increasing the added value of C. squamulosa.

In this study, we used fresh Oudemansiella raphanipes as raw materials and pre-treated through hot air drying (HD), infrared radiation drying (ID), and vacuum freeze drying (VD) to investigate the effects of different drying methods on the rehydration rate, appearance quality, microstructure, and volatile flavor components of the dried products, as well as to determine the physicochemical properties and bioactivities of the polysaccharides in the dried O. raphanipes. The results showed that the VD O. raphanipes had the highest rehydration rate and the least shrinkage in appearance, and it better maintained the original color of the gills, but their aroma was not as strong as that of the HD samples. The scanning electron microscopy results indicate that VD maintains a good porous structure in the tissue, while HD and ID exhibit varying degrees of shrinkage and collapse. Seventy-five common volatile substances were detected in the three dried samples, mainly alkanes, alcohols, and esters. The polysaccharides (PS-H, PS-I, and PS-V) extracted from the dried samples of these three species of O. raphanipes had similar infrared spectral features, indicating that their structures are basically consistent. The highest yield was obtained for PS-V, and the polysaccharide content and glucuronic acid content of PS-I were higher than those of the remaining two polysaccharides. In addition, PS-V also showed better antioxidant activity and inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase as well as α-amylase. In conclusion, among the above three drying methods, the quality of O. raphanipes obtained by vacuum freeze drying is the best, and this experiment provides a theoretical basis for the selection of drying methods for O. raphanipes.
RESUMEN
This study aimed to assess the effects of polysaccharides extracted from Hericium erinaceus fruiting bodies (HEFPs) on the inflammatory response to oxidative stress in a mouse model of ulcerative colitis (UC) induced by ingestion of dextran sodium sulfate. The results indicated reduced oxidative damage in the HEFPs groups, as evidenced by significantly decreased malondialdehyde levels and significantly increased levels of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase and catalase in colon homogenates, compared with those in the Model Control (MC) group. Additionally, compared with the levels in the MC group, the levels of the pro-inflammatory factors IL-6, IL-1ß, and TNF-α in the positive-control (PC) and HEFPs groups were significantly lower, and that of the anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 was significantly higher. qRT-PCR analyses revealed that the colon expression patterns of IL-6, IL-1ß, TNF-α, and IL-18 were consistent with the serum levels. Western-blotting results indicated significantly lower levels of NLRP3, ASC, and caspase 1 P20 in the HEFPs and PC groups than in the MC group. These findings suggest that HEFPs alleviate UC by suppressing the NLRP3 inflammasome/Caspase-1 pathway. Lachnospiraceae, Clostridiales, Parabacteroides, Oscillibacter, and Clostridium XlVa genera were more abundant in the gut microbiota of the HEFPs group than that of the MC group.

To overcome the difficulty of separation and low rate of extraction caused by highly viscous polysaccharides from Naematelia aurantialba (NA), four N. aurantialba polysaccharides (NAPs) were sequentially extracted using water (enzyme-/ultrasound-assisted extraction), alkali (0.1 mol/L NaOH), and acid (0.1 mol/L HCl), and named E-NAP, U-NAP, Al-NAP, and Ac-NAP. The properties of four NAPs were different. The yields of NAPs were 26.05 % (Ac-NAP) > 20.33 % (Al-NAP) > 17.99 % (U-NAP) > 12.77 % (E-NAP), respectively. The monosaccharide composition of NAPs was composed primarily of mannose, xylose, glucose, glucuronic acid, and galactose. Sequential extraction improved the purity and solubility of NAPs, but decreased the particle size, thermal stability, water retention, and crystallinity. Two polysaccharides, U-NAP and Al-NAP, had a triple helix structure. All the NAPs were pseudoplastic fluids with concentration/frequency-dependent entangled structure. Al-NAP with the highest viscosity exhibited an elastic gel, while Ac-NAP with the lowest viscosity was a viscous gel. The behavior of NAPs differed from that predicted using the Cox-Merz rule, and in particular, E-NAP and U-NAP more significantly deviated from the rule. In this study, four NAPs with different properties were extracted sequentially, which provided a theoretical basis for the down-stream processing with high added-value and utilization of NA and NAP.

This study comparatively evaluated the effects of the commonly used six extraction methods (acidic, alkaline, enzymatic, ultrasonic, high-pressure, and microwave) on the physico-chemical properties, processing characteristics, and biological activities of polysaccharides from Clitocybe squamulosa (CSFPs). The results show that polysaccharides extracted using an enzyme-assisted extraction method has a relatively high extraction yield (4.46 ± 1.62 %) and carbohydrate content (70.79 ± 6.25 %) compared with others. Furthermore, CSFPs were all composed of glucose, galactose, mannose, xylose, and glucosamine hydrochloride. Only ultrasonic-assisted extraction of polysaccharides (CSFP-U) has a triple helix chain conformation. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed significant differences in the microstructure of polysaccharides prepared using different methods. Besides that, the polysaccharides prepared by alkali extraction (CSFP-B) and high-pressure assisted extraction (CSFP-H) have good water (2.86 ± 0.29 g/g and 3.15 ± 0.29 g/g) and oil (8.13 ± 0.32 g/g and 7.97 ± 0.04 g/g) holding properties. The rheological behavior demonstrated that CSFPs solutions were typical non-Newtonian fluid. Apart from this, the antioxidant capacity (clearing DPPH (IC50 = 0.29) and ABTS free radicals (IC50 = 0.19), total reduction ability (IC50 = 3.02)) of polysaccharides prepared by the microwave-assisted extraction (CSFP-M) method was significantly higher than that of other extraction methods. By contrast, the polysaccharide prepared by acid extraction (CSFP-A) has the optimum binding capacity (bile acid salt (71.30 ± 6.78 %) and cholesterol (57.07 ± 3.26 mg/g)). The antibacterial activity of CSFPs was positively correlated with their concentration. Thus, the research results can provide a theoretical basis for the development and utilization of polysaccharides from C. squamulosa.

To study the gel-forming properties of polysaccharide from the fruiting body of Clitocybe squamulosa (CSFP) and its degradation product (UH-CSFP), the changes in steady-state and dynamic rheological properties of CSFP and UH-CSFP under different conditions (polysaccharide mass fraction, temperature, pH, and salt ion concentration) were studied. Polysaccharides with good gel-forming properties were selected and mixed with common edible thickeners (gelatin, guar gum, and locust bean gum), after which the properties of the composite gel were assessed. The steady-state rheological results showed that CSFP and UH-CSFP were pseudoplastic fluids, their apparent viscosity decreased with increasing temperature, the viscosity was greatest when the pH was 7. The addition of Na+ and Ca2+ could increase the viscosity, and the viscosity of UH-CSFP was lower than that of CSFP at the same mass fraction. The results of dynamic rheology indicated that G´ and G´´ of CSFP and UH-CSFP increased with increasing mass fraction, pH, and ion concentration (0.01 M to 1 M), and G´´ was always smaller than G´ indicating weak gel behavior. The thixotropy-related experimental results showed that the thixotropy ring area of CSFP and UH-CSFP increased with increasing mass fraction, the ring area of CSFP was larger than that of UH-CSFP, and the gel strength of CSFP was greater than that of UH-CSFP. The results of CSFP and three types of edible gels showed that the composite gels were pseudoplastic fluids, and their apparent viscosity was ranked (in descending order) as follows: guar bean gum, locust bean gum, and gelatin. The addition of CSFP improved the gel-forming properties of guar gum but did not significantly improve the gel properties of locust bean gum and gelatin. This study provides a theoretical basis for the selection of processing methods and the application of polysaccharides.

To study the effects of Naematelia aurantialba (NA) on the rheological and gelatinization properties of starch, the processing methods of NA were diversified. In this study, the gelatinization and rheological properties of corn starch (CS) and edible cassava starch (ECS) were investigated by adding NA with different mass fractions. Starch soft candy was prepared using NA, CS, and ECS as the main raw materials. Rheological studies showed that both CS-NA and ECS-NA exhibited elastic modulus (G') > viscosity modulus (Gâ³), implying elastic behavior. G' was such that CS+1%NA > CS+5%NA > CS+3%NA > CS > CS+2%NA > CS+4%NA > ECS+4%NA > ECS+3%NA > ECS+5%NA > ECS+2%NA > ECS+1%NA > ECS. The gelatinization implied showed that after adding NA, the pasting temperature of CS-NA and ECS-NA increased by 1.33 °C and decreased by 2.46 °C, while their breakdown values decreased by 442.35 cP and 866.98 cP, respectively. Through a single-factor test and orthogonal test, the best formula of starch soft candy was as follows: 0.4 f of NA, 10 g of white granulated sugar, a mass ratio of ECS to CS of 20:1 (g:g), 0.12 g of citric acid, 1 g of red date power, and 16 mL of water. The soft candy was stable when stored for two days. This study offers a new direction for the research and development of NA starch foods.
RESUMEN
The browning and associated toughening of fruiting body stipes are the main causes of declines in the commercial production of yellow Flammulina filiformis. The dynamic metabolic changes from the top to bottom stipe sections of yellow F. filiformis fruiting bodies were investigated by integrating physiological, transcriptomic, and metabolomic analyses. The results indicated that oxidative stress levels gradually increased accompanying the degree of tissue browning and toughening from the top to bottom sections of F. filiformis stipes. In-depth analysis showed that there were remarkable changes in the expression of genes, and the content of metabolites correlated with the primary and secondary metabolism of F. filiformis stipes. Interestingly, the expression levels of genes participating in chitosan biosynthesis and the degree of deacetylation of chitosan increased from top to bottom in F. filiformis stipes, implying that cell wall glycan remodeling may contribute to concomitant toughening of the browning of F. filiformis stipes.

Exposure to lead can have harmful effects on the intestines and gut microbiota, leading to toxicity. This study aimed to explore the protective role of Sparassis latifolia polysaccharide (SLP) in safeguarding the intestinal barrier of Kunming mice exposed to lead. The findings indicated that SLP effectively alleviates intestinal lesions, increases the density of cupped cells in the intestine, and reduces inflammation in both serum and the small intestine. Furthermore, SLP maintains the expression of key genes such as ZO-1, Occludin, Claudin-1, Lyz, Ang4, and ZO-2, as well as proteins like claudin-1 and Occludin-1. Furthermore, SLP positively impacts the diversity and richness of microorganisms in the mouse gut microbiota at both the genus and gate levels. It also increases the levels of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), including acetic acid, butyric acid, and propionic acid, to varying degrees. In summary, SLP plays a role in alleviating the impaired small intestinal barrier in lead-exposed mice by modulating the intestinal flora, which is consistent with reduced lead absorption. This modulation enhances the integrity of the intestinal barrier, suppresses inflammation, and facilitates the excretion of lead.

MYB transcription factors (TFs) have been extensively studied in plant abiotic stress responses and growth and development. However, the role of MYB TFs in the heat stress response and growth and development of Pleurotus ostreatus remains unclear. To investigate the function of PoMYB12, PoMYB15, and PoMYB20 TFs in P. ostreatus, mutant strains of PoMYB12, PoMYB15, and PoMYB20 were generated using RNA interference (RNAi) and overexpression (OE) techniques. The results indicated that the mycelia of OE-PoMYB12, OE-PoMYB20, and RNAi-PoMYB15 mutant strains exhibited positive effects under heat stress at 32 °C, 36 °C, and 40 °C. Compared to wild-type strains, the OE-PoMYB12, OE-PoMYB20, and RNAi-PoMYB15 mutant strains promoted the growth and development of P. ostreatus. These mutant strains also facilitated the recovery of growth and development of P. ostreatus after 24 h of 36 °C heat stress. In conclusion, the expression of PoMYB12 and PoMYB20 supports the mycelium's response to heat stress and enhances the growth and development of P. ostreatus, whereas PoMYB15 produces the opposite effect.

Pleurotus ostreatus is widely cultivated in China. H2O2, as a signaling molecule, can regulate the formation of cap color, but its regulatory pathway is still unclear, severely inhibiting the breeding of dark-colored strains. In this study, 614 DEGs specifically regulated by H2O2 were identified by RNA-seq analysis. GO-enrichment analysis shows that DEGs can be significantly enriched in multiple pathways related to ATP synthesis, mainly including proton-transporting ATP synthesis complex, coupling factor F(o), ATP biosynthetic process, nucleoside triphosphate metabolic processes, ATP metabolic process, purine nucleoside triphosphate biosynthetic and metabolic processes, and purine ribonuclease triphosphate biosynthetic metabolic processes. Further KEGG analysis revealed that 23 DEGs were involved in cap color formation through the oxidative phosphorylation pathway. They were enriched in Complexes I, III, IV, and V in the respiratory chain. Further addition of exogenous uncoupling agents and ATP synthase inhibitors clarifies the important role of ATP synthesis in color formation. In summary, H2O2 may upregulate the expression of complex-encoding genes in the respiratory chain and promote ATP synthesis, thereby affecting the formation of cap color. The results of this study lay the foundation for the breeding of dark-colored strains of P. ostreatus and provide a basis for the color-formation mechanism of edible fungi.
RESUMEN
Changes in the functional properties and structures of Clitocybe squamulosa protein isolate (CSPI) in the process of freeze-thaw (F-T) cycles were explored. Remarkable alterations and the reduced content of protein ordered structure were revealed through structural analysis of CSPI after F-T treatments. The surface hydrophobicity and free sulfhydryl content of CSPI first increased and then decreased. However, after the F-T treatments, the carbonyl content of CSPI continued to increase. Similarly, the water holding capacity (WHC), oil holding capacity (OHC), and solubility of CSPI all declined as the number of F-T cycles increased. The foaming properties and emulsifying properties of CSPI were significantly improved and reached maximum values after three F-T cycles. CSPI undergoing two F-T cycles showed the highest digestibility, maximum polypeptide content, and highest DPPH and ·OH-radical-scavenging activities. The ·OH-radical-scavenging activities and reducing power of the gastrointestinally digested CSPI had the highest value after one F-T cycle. Therefore, it has been demonstrated that F-T treatments could be a residue-free and cost-effective tool for improving mushroom protein functional properties.
RESUMEN
Lentinula edodes has high nutritional value and abundant protein. In order to develop and utilize edible mushroom protein, this study was designed to investigate the effects of TGase-catalyzed glycosylation and cross-linking on the physicochemical and functional properties of Lentinus edodes protein fraction. The results showed that within a certain time, glycosylation and TGase-catalyzed glycosylation decreased the total sulfydryl, free sulfydryl, disulfide bond, surface hydrophobicity, ß-fold and α-helix, but increased the fluorescence intensity, random coil, ß-turn, particle size and thermal stability. The apparent viscosity and the shear stress of the protein with an increase in shear rate were increased, indicating that TGase-catalyzed glycosylation promoted the generation of cross-linked polymers. In addition, the TGase-catalyzed glycosylated proteins showed a compact texture structure similar to the glycosylated proteins at the beginning, indicating that they formed a stable three-dimensional network structure. The flaky structure of proteins became more and more obvious with time. Moreover, the solubility, emulsification, stability and oil-holding capacity of enzymatic glycosylated Lentinus edodes protein fraction were significantly improved because of the proper TGase effects of glycosylation grafting and cross-linking. These results showed that glycosylation and TGase-catalyzed glycosylation could improve the processing characteristics of the Lentinula edodes protein fraction to varying degrees.
RESUMEN
The aim of this study was to establish a human digestion model in vitro to explore the degradation characteristics of a novel high-purity polysaccharide from Clitocybe squamulosa (CSFP2). The results showed that the content of reducing sugars (CR ) of CSFP2 increased from 0.13 to 0.23 mg/mL, the molecular weight (Mw) of CSFP2 decreased significantly during the saliva-gastrointestinal digestion. The constituent monosaccharides of CSFP2, including galactose, glucose, and mannose, were stable during in vitro digestion, but their molar ratios were changed from 0.023: 0.737: 0.234 to 0.496: 0.478: 0.027. The surface of CSFP2 changes from a rough flaky structure to a scattered flocculent or rod-shaped structure after the gastrointestinal digestion. However, the apparent viscosity of CSFP2 was overall stable during in vitro digestion. Moreover, CSFP2 still maintains its strong antioxidant capacity after saliva-gastrointestinal digestion. The results showed that CSFP2 can be partially decomposed during digestion. Meanwhile, some physico-chemical properties of the fermentation broth containing CSFP2 changed significantly after gut microbiota fermentation. For example, the pH value (from 8.46 to 4.72) decreased significantly (p < 0.05) after 48 h of fermentation. the OD 600 value increased first and then decreased (from 2.00 to 2.68 to 1.32) during 48-h fermentation. In addition, CSFP2 could also increase the amounts of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) (from 5.5 to 37.15 mmol/L) during fermentation (in particular, acetic acid, propionic acid, and butyric acid). Furthermore, the relative abundances of Bacteriodes, Bifidobacterium, Catenibacterium, Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group, Megasphaera, Prevotella, Megamonas, and Lactobacillus at genus level were markedly increased with the intervention of CSFP2. These results provided a theoretical basis for the further development of functional foods related to CSFP2.
RESUMEN
Sparassis latifolia polysaccharides (SLPs) can regulate inflammatory cytokines. However, little is known about the regulation mechanism of SLPs on colon cancer. In this study, we investigated the mechanism of SLPs on metabolism in mice with colon cancer. The results showed that SLPs could improve the colon morphology and physiological indices, and inhibit the infiltration of immune cells in colon. Moreover, it could improve metabolism disorder of colon cancer via reducing the levels of TNF-α, IL-6, NF-κB, COX-2 and IL-1ß mRNA or protein, increasing IκB mRNA or protein expression. In addition, it could comprehensively regulate the colon cancer related metabolism by changing the abundance of key intestinal flora and 35 metabolites including phosphatidylcholine, tryptophan and tetrahydrobiopterin. Some biomarkers associated with colon cancer metabolism were related significantly with the abundance of specific intestinal flora. These findings indicate that SLPs can attenuate metabolism disorder of colon cancer by modulating gut microbiota and metabolites.

A novel electrochemical method for detecting fluoride was developed based on gold electrode modified by layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly of poly(3-aminophenylboronic acid)-reduced graphene oxide (PAPBA-RGO) multilayers. The PAPBA-RGO multilayer-modified gold electrode was constructed by using alternating LBL assembly of RGO and PAPBA on a bare gold electrode by one-step electrodeposition. Fluoride was electrochemically determined based on the proposed modified electrode by evaluating the changes in peak current for potassium ferricyanide reduction caused by the conjunction of fluoride and boronic acid groups of PAPBA. The results indicated that the peak current for potassium ferricyanide reduction obviously decreased with the increasing fluoride concentration. The response range of our method for fluoride was 1 × 10-8 to 1 × 10-1 M with a detection limit of 6 × 10-10 M and high sensitivity and selectivity. This method was applied to detect fluoride in tap water, rice, apple, and edible fungi samples.

Pleurotus ostreatus is a typical tetrapolar heterologous edible mushroom, and its growth and development regulatory mechanism has become a research hotspot in recent years. The MAC1 protein is a transcription factor that perceives copper and can regulate the expression of multiple genes, thereby affecting the growth and development of organisms. However, its function in edible mushrooms is still unknown. In this study, two transcription factor genes, PoMCA1a and PoMAC1b, were identified. Afterwards, PoMAC1 overexpression (OE) and RNA interference (RNAi) strains were constructed to further explore gene function. The results showed that the PoMAC1 mutation had no significant effect on the growth rate of mycelia. Further research has shown that OE-PoMAC1a strains and RNAi-PoMAC1b strains exhibit strong tolerance under 32 °C heat stress. However, under 40 °C heat stress, the OE of PoMAC1a and PoMAC1b promoted the recovery of mycelial growth after heat stress. Second, the OE of PoMAC1a can promote the rapid formation of primordia and shorten the cultivation cycle. In summary, this study indicated that there are functional differences between PoMAC1a and PoMAC1b under different heat stresses during the vegetative growth stage, and PoMAC1a has a positive regulatory effect on the formation of primordia during the reproductive growth stage.
RESUMEN
To explore a scientific and reasonable cooking method for Clitocybe squamulosa, four cooking methods (boiling, steaming, microwaving, and frying) were applied to C. squamulosa, and the effects of different cooking methods on volatile flavor compounds, nutritional constituents, and antioxidant activities in C. squamulosa were systematically investigated. The results showed that 54, 53, 61, 63, and 49 volatile flavor compounds were detected in raw, boiled, steamed, microwaved, and fried samples, respectively. Large differences in volatile flavor compounds between the four cooking and raw samples were determined by using relative odor activity values (ROAV) and principal component analysis (PCA). In addition, steaming and microwaving could protect the nutrients of C. squamulosa, reduce losses during the cooking process and improve the color of cooked products compared to boiling and frying cooking methods. Meanwhile, cooking treatment exerted different effects on the antioxidant activity of C. squamulosa, and the antioxidant activity of C. squamulosa was the highest after microwave cooking treatment. This research can provide a theoretical basis for the cooking, processing and utilization of C. squamulosa and other wild edible fungi.
